2G Match: Advani Calls Subramanian Swamy “Man of the Series”
Veteran BJP leader LK Advani has referred to Janata Party President Dr. Subramanian Swamy as “Man of the Series” if 2G scam is a cricket series. In his blog entry titled In Respect of Corruption Scandals, UPA’s Record is Unbeatable, he has slammed the UPA government. Advani makes clear observances to the relentless pursuit of scamsters by Dr. Subramanian Swamy and indictment of A Raja. He has also made a blunt pointer that the current government is actually being headed by UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh.
“If a comprehensive history of corruption scandals in independent India were to be written, I have no doubt that both in respect of the number of these scams as well as in terms of their financial dimensions and/or their gravity, no earlier government can out beat the stinking record of the UPA Government,” says Advani in his article.
“This Government is headed formally by Dr. Manmohan Singh, but by now there is no doubt in any one’s mind that this government is actually run by UPA Chairman Smt. Sonia Gandhi, and Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh!”, says the blog further.
The blog cites the role played by Janata Party President Dr. Subramanian Swamy in nailing those behind the 2G scam. Advani says, “if the 2G Spectrum Scam Series were to be regarded as a Match Series, obviously crusader Subramaniam Swamy has to be acknowledged as Man of the Series.”
Referring to the 2G scam Advani has asked, “Is A Raja the former Telecom Minister the solitary villain of the piece, and the only person responsible for these fraudulent transactions?”
Furthermore, the patriarch of Bharatiya Janata Party has proceeded to give a list of the “murkiest” scams:
“Here below is a tally of the ten murkiest matters that come to mind :
- Cash for Votes scandal which has besmirched the name of Indian Democracy
- 2G Scam Cases
- Commonwealth Games Scandal
- Quattrochi case
- Adarsh Housing Case
- Appointment of Chief Vigilance Commissioner, P.J. Thomas
- Abysmal failure to get back the enormous wealth Indian black money earners have stashed away abroad in Swiss banks, or other such tax havens. Following U.N’s Convention against Corruption, not only major countries like U.S., Germany and France, but also smaller countries like Peru and Nigeria have succeeded in securing their wealth.
- Supreme Court admonitions in respect of IMDT Act and continuing massive illegal immigration from Bangladesh into Assam and other North Eastern States.
- Telgi Stamp Paper Case
- Pune stud-farm owner Hasan Ali’s scandal.”
The article rounds off in jest, with a joke, which can evidently be seen as a veiled remark on the current political scenario:
“TAILPIECE: A joke circulating in Pakistan these days is: In India, the Government decides the age of Army Chief; in our country the Army Chief decides the age of the Government.”
